A man with long dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a raised red stage, wearing an orange-saffron draped garment over his shoulders and chest, hands resting in his lap. Flanking him are tall ornamental gold-and-pink staffs and a small decorated wooden stand with a book. Red drapes and a yellow backdrop frame the stage, and a seated audience in front, many in white and light clothing, watches. Cameras are visible at the right. The figure's appearance with long hair, saffron garments and an ornate throne matches several cues, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.
